Comfort seat - Touratech or other options?

Top Sellerie is in Europe. I've read plenty of reviews that people say they do quality work for saddles. But they are expensive and it takes a while...

I've had a Sargent seat on a couple of other bikes and they were noticeably better than stock seats.

Seat Concepts have seat covers that would likely be reasonable to ship out.

Maybe refoaming the seat locally - upholstery, seat shop, etc.? They might be able to do it for an hourly rate - keep the OEM seat cover and change the foam.

They're all pretty big financial investments. Not to deny that some people get sore butts while riding but I think some of it is seat time as well. I've had quite a few 800-1200 kilometres days on the OEM saddle and survived (on the AT and a few other bikes). Breaks, rest stops and moving around on the saddle and it was possible - not 'comfortable' but possible. I think most touring days of less than 400-500 kilometres are pretty doable on the stock seat.
